4.3 Package Modeling Interface

Since package modeling does not have a key focus in this work, no conversion tool was developed. However it would be beneficial to implement such a conversion into the overall TCAD flow. Since commercial package simulators provide a compact model (sub-circuit) of the parasitic elements introduced by the package, especially for RF and power applications this additional input could be very helpful. Currently this conversion is performed by hand or, more typically, not considered at all in the design process.
